Pricing

How Cloudback pricing works for Linear workspaces, including the tiered per-member unit model, what's included in backups, and where to subscribe.

Cloudback uses a per-workspace pricing model for Linear, with units calculated from the number of active workspace members. Pricing is tiered so that small teams stay inexpensive and large teams scale gradually.

How Units Work for Linear

Each Linear workspace with backups enabled consumes units based on the number of active, non-app members in the workspace. The tiers are progressive - each member is billed against the band they fall in:

Member position in workspace	Units per member
Members 1-5	2 units each
Members 6-25	4 units each
Members 26 and above	6 units each

The minimum is 2 units per workspace. App users (bots/integrations) and suspended members are excluded from the count.

Examples

Workspace size	Units consumed	Calculation
1 active member	2	1 × 2
5 active members	10	5 × 2
6 active members	14	5 × 2 + 1 × 4
10 active members	30	5 × 2 + 5 × 4
25 active members	90	5 × 2 + 20 × 4
26 active members	96	5 × 2 + 20 × 4 + 1 × 6
50 active members	240	5 × 2 + 20 × 4 + 25 × 6
100 active members	540	5 × 2 + 20 × 4 + 75 × 6
250 active members	1,440	5 × 2 + 20 × 4 + 225 × 6

If you back up multiple workspaces, units add up across all of them. Units are also shared across all connected accounts and platforms.

The unit count is recalculated automatically after each successful backup (and on reconnect) using the current member count returned by the Linear API.

No Free Plan for Linear

Linear has no free plan or free tier. The free backup slot included with every connected account covers repositories only (GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps) - it does not extend to Linear workspaces.

Every Linear workspace is billed using the member tiers above. All paid plans include a free trial, so you can evaluate Linear backups before committing.
